the summer of 1857, the day of St. Anne, when the duty was introduced on the local wine - particularly odious because consumption taxes, even as a poll tax levied on twelve years old - two or three hundred peasants, shouting "Long live the King! We do not want duty on wine marched along Square (now Corso Marcelli) to Sottointendenza. "Given the signal so two of them, one playing the bagpipes, tambourines and other things, put themselves at the head of the coursing others and damage to roads in the country. Also a drummer, met by chance with his instrument on his back, was arrested and forced by threats to beat the drum. Appeal to the peasants coll'accorrer resounding answer from all routes to meet. (...) And then ESTABLISHED in impressive numbers, proceed straight to the house of the Sub-Intendant. There came, as lava, burst into the courtyard and shock that authority the sound of 'signs and instruments by the cries of Long live the King, dressed in uniform, comes in union of police "

followed by demonstration of skirmishes, the peasants respectfully ask that you remove the heavy tax. The sottointendente pleads not be the one to ask the way through, and invites the crowd to disperse; but this, indeed, growing in numbers, pushing. They go all the way home of Mayor Gary Mancini, which require the showing of the role, because it is torn, but the role is at the town hall, and then the procession with the mayor, sottointendente, police inspectors and six constables in tow, goes home at the municipal clerk of the poor, they can go together to make the ledger. Finally, the role is performed, as one of the people. Skip to other hands, to remain torn up the front pages. But a question arises: what if quell'involto that is passing from hand to hand like a trophy would be useless paper and not the alleged role? In a city where one can read in a hundred, the problem is to find third parties who are able to confirm the goodness of that rough draft. It provides:
"(...) got under the ushers Santorsola, via threats forced him to climb on the fountain and read aloud the cards, with which it is no longer doubt it holds the role played , one of those senseless usher him away from his hands, and he and reducing it to other tracks, race in each of these is good provision, and if he smokes in his pipe. Achieved so intent gradually dileguasi the mob, run out of surplus, and everything is back in order. "
The events of July 26, 1857, absolutely bloodless, almost to the limit (inside) of the criminal law - if it says nothing of the slap settled back to a forester, the private violence used Santorsola usher, with the threat of steep for the accuracy and little else - also took the Grand Criminal Court of Molise impose sentences of seven or six years' imprisonment to twenty-four defendants.
